Ok, I'am not sure if it is the Pengin ice cream but i had one scoop and the next dump i took was all green! Just wondering if anyone else had this issue? It seem like it might of been the ice cream because of the dye/food coloring in Penguin Ice Cream.

Here is a poll: What is your favorite Baskin Robins Ice Cream? Peanut Butter and Chocolate for me. After working there when I was a kid I soon realized that they clearly make the best ice cream there is. For those of you that disagree you must remember quality of the product ends when it is in your hands. If you bought it in a grocery store it's automatically crap even if it says Baskin Robins on it. Here is the link to the poll I mentioned: http://www.apopularitycontest.com/display_poll.php?ID=14

Confirmed. I had a scoop of Penguin Swirl and about a day later I had a stool that was the brightest color green you can image. I called my doctor in a panic and as we went through the possibilities, food coloring came up. It then struck me about the ice cream. It is (as you know) the darkest color black imaginable in a food. Glad to hear somebody else has had the same experience.

I was always afraid to comment on the Penguin Swirl. But I, too, had the black teeth/green poop talked about. I must admit, though, I loved the flavors. I single handedly, over a period of several days, bought the whole container at my neighborhood B-R. While on vacation in a beach resort I popped into a B-R and there it was.....a container that was barely used. Employees said they sold a few scoops and now couldn't give it away. They offered to pay me to take it. I did. And black teeth and green poop for the next month didn't bother me at all!
